Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-alicloud

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-alicloud

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-alicloud
$ make build

Using the provider

Fill in for each provider

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.10+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-alicloud
...

Running make dev or make devlinux or devwin will only build the specified developing provider which matchs the local system. And then, it will unarchive the provider binary and then replace the local provider plugin.

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

$ make testacc

Acceptance Testing

Before making a release, the resources and data sources are tested automatically with acceptance tests (the tests are located in the alicloud/*_test.go files). You can run them by entering the following instructions in a terminal:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-alicloud
export ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
export ALICLOUD_SECRET_KEY=xxx
export ALICLOUD_REGION=xxx
export outfile=gotest.out
TF_ACC=1 TF_LOG=INFO go test ./alicloud -v -run=TestAccAlicloud -timeout=1440m | tee $outfile
go2xunit -input $outfile -output $GOPATH/tests.xml

-> Note: The last line is optional, it allows to convert test results into a XML format compatible with xUnit.
